What should I trade my Nikon D3400 for? Hey everyone, I currently have a Nikon D3400, and I really like it it for outdoor photography. However, I also use it as a webcam for client meetings, and the video shuts off automatically after 15-20 minutes due to a timeout. (I get around this by rigging a rubber band and plastic cap around the shutter button) I’m looking for a similar or smal…

Lens consideration?

( www.reddit.com )

Lens consideration? Hi all, I’ve had my camera for several years now and have determined I’m an infrequent user, mostly special occasions. I currently own a Nikon D3200 with the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 DX kit lens and a Nikon 50mm prime f/1.8. I don’t find myself enjoying the 50 as much as I had hoped, usually being more frustrated because I can’t frame the shot like I w…

What is an acceptable misfire rate for Sony HVL-F28RM flash unit? Or modern flashes in general? I got a Sony HVL-F28RM flash in “good used” condition from Amazon and I’m still within the return window. I tried it with some alkaline batteries lying around the house and the misfires were pretty bad.

When should I adjust my exposure compensation rather than raising my ISO (after my one time botched shot of the Emerald Buddha)? Last year I traveled to Thailand with my family, my Sony A7iv and a pretty fast Tamron travel lens. The site I wanted to see in Bangkok the most was the Emerald Buddha at the Royal Palace – and see it we did. It was beautiful. You can’t really get anywhere near it (at least not as a casual tourist) as it sits high atop a massive altar that is ro…

Alternative to DSLR? I have been using an old (well, 2010) Nikon DSLR to photograph artwork and occasionally take on hikes. Unfortunately, my lovely cat knocked it off a high perch onto the floor (my fault, shouldn’t have left it there). And both the camera and lens are pretty much toast. But it’ll be nice to upgrade! In 2010 they didn’t have wifi etc I’m just wonde…
